To help make importing easier, we've created a template that already contains all the column headings in the required format. Download this template file and open it in Excel, then add your own data.

The CSV file should include all column headings. These can appear in a different order , and are not case-sensitive.

You don't need to complete all the fields for a successful import, but make sure you don't delete any unused columns or rename any column headings.
